Bidding for love Chapter 62
John's POV I kept mute because I didn't know whether the stranger was referring to me or someone else. “You seem sad, or will I say confused?” He said. This time, he made it obvious that he was talking to me. He didn’t look drunk anyway. “It's none of your business. Just scurry away, young fella” I said arrogantly. “You don't need to be harsh on me. I just want to help” He had a large smile on his face, which showed that he wasn't even pissed at the way I spoke to him. I made sure I didn't make any eye contact with him. “What do you want? Should I buy you a drink” I don't love people barging into my privacy, so this man here was getting on my nerves. “I am Josh. Nice to meet you” He took a seat on the chair next to me and gave his hand for a handshake. While I kept contemplating whether to give him a handset or not, I kept looking at his hand with utter disgust all over my expression. “The name’s John” I finally shook his hand after understanding that it would not make any sense
Bidding for love Chapter 63
Sarah's POV I just felt the need to help him out. I was peeking through my door when I saw him dragging his feet to his room. I have never seen him look so tired and lousy, by the way. After I had successfully made him sleep, I carefully placed his head in his pillow and made my exit from his room quietly. “Jeez! You just gave me a heart attack” I could feel my heart throbbing already. I had opened the door while leaving John's room, when I unexpectedly saw Rosaline standing motionless in front of the door. She looked like she had intentionally stood there in order to scare me. I had to braise myself immediately and close the door gently in order not to wake John from his sleep. “What the hell is wrong with you?” I asked furiously. We had already entered my room, so we had the freedom to raise our voices slightly. “I didn't do anything. I was just about to tell the boss that you were missing” She replied. “Are you serious? I didn't even take up to two minutes in his room,” I rep
Bidding for love Chapter 64
John's POVI raised my face to see if she was ready to give me a massage when I noticed her looking at me. She wasn't just looking at me. She had a look of lust all over her expression. She bit her lips in anticipation, but she didn't look like she was conscious of what she was doing.I snapped my finger below her nose, forcing her back to the consciousness of her environment. “I am sorry” she quickly apologised.I ignored her and went ahead to lie down in a supine position on the bed. “There is a bottle of oil right next to the sofa. If you have any need for it” I informed her. She nodded in positive affirmation and slowly left the bed to grab the oil.I could not see what she was doing from my position, but I could tell she was trying to get ready to give me the best massage. I heard the door lock moving, so I presumed she was locking the door.Out of curiosity, I was forced to lift myself a bit with my arm and look at what she was doing. I turned and noticed her taking a deep breat

John's POVI didn't know what to give her as an answer. This wasn't because I was nervous, I just felt like I didn't have a reason myself. “What's the matter? You don't like it?” I decided to reply to Sarah's question with a question.“I am sorry. I guess I crossed my boundaries there. I was just curious” She replied softly. Her voice was very tender this time. I could tell that's she was startled by my tone.“You didn't do anything wrong there. I just don't have an answer to the question now. If you don't mind, can we change the topic now?” I asked politely. I have never been so polite when relating with others.“You don't need to ask for my permission sir” She replied respectfully with a soft smile on her face.Such a sweet smile, I can't forgive myself for making that smile elude her face for months now. “I will love you to call me John. Let's leave the formality a bit,” I requested. The expression of surprise that gripped her was one that she was unable to hide from me. Her jaw wa
Bidding for love Chapter 66
Sarah's POV His behaviour at the counter was something I could not explain. I have seen people react when a stranger tries to harass their helpless employees, but this one was more than that. He was showing dominance. Just like a lion trying to claim his mate, his eyes beamed with violence. I was scared for a moment there because I didn't know what the outcome of such a clash was going to result in. “What happened back there?” I decided to break the silence and get an explanation from him. “What did I do? I was just trying to protect you. You could clearly see that he was trying to harass you there.” he went on like a speeding train. I watched his expression and found out that he was filled with rage at the moment. But he was trying so hard to bottle it and keep it down. I just followed my instincts without hesitation. I pulled him in for a hug and placed his head on my shoulder while patting him on his back softly. “Just calm down” I whispered into his ear softly. In no time, the
Bidding for love Chapter 67
My whole world seemed to have been crumbling upon me. My conscience and everything within me that I thought had died started speaking against me. What have you done, John? What is she thinking of me now? I had no answer to those questions. I could feel my heart racing and my hands shaking. My limbs were already sweaty, and my hard, erect dick had already shrieked completely.I braised myself, got my act together, and went to Sarah's room to seek an apology. That's just the best thing I can do in a situation like this.It just happened within a split second. I didn't have any control over myself. It isn't my fault at all.“It is your fault, John. You should have had control over that thing between your legs” My conscience just kept banging my head with reasons to put the blame on myself.I have been standing outside Sarah's door for close to a minute now, but I haven't heard a single word from her.Are you sure she didn't storm out of the house? No, I heard her bang the door immediat
Bidding for love Chapter 68
Sarah's POVThree hours in a room, and I can't believe I intentionally and forcefully decided to confine myself in her. I just decided to stay away from John for a while, after the whole incident. It's a good thing that when I returned to my room in a haste, Rosaline wasn't still there.John has been trying to get me out to listen to him. But I don't want to even see him. I am not angry with him for trying to have some fun with me. I just feel I can't resist him if he tries again.His eyes are too charming. It will be very hard for me to say no. He just kept knocking on the door like he was going to break it the next minute. I had to stand up from my bed where I was doing nothing, and open the door.I left only a little space there for me to peek through and see him. “I told you that I want to be alone!” I said sternly. I looked into his eyes, but all I could see was a young man who was so sorry for his deeds.“Sarah, I didn't mean to disrespect or harass you. I am deeply sorry for wh
Bidding for love Chapter 69
Sarah's POVI just sat there pondering on what to tell Rosaline. I can't tell her that I got carried away and allowed myself to lust after John. That would sound so ridiculous. She has always had the impression that I have been yearning to be touched by……“Sarah!” She snapped her finger under my nose, forcing me to snap out of my momentary loss in my mind.“I…I am sorry, I got lost there” I apologised while trying to make everything look less suspicious as well.“I asked you a question, and you zoned off. Are you hiding something” she arched her eyebrows as she folded her arms while looking at me.“Why are you giving me that look?” I asked in bewilderment. I couldn't tell if she was trying to exert dominance over the conversation, or she was just being too curious.“I am sorry if I crossed my boundaries a bit there. I was just curious” She apologised immediately and created a little distance between me and her on the bed.“No, you didn't. I was actually going to tell you. I just don't

John's POV“It's been a while man, where have you been?” I smirked.I was so excited to meet Raymond again. Raymond is the only real friend I've ever had in my entire life I never expected that I was going to meet him after we both graduated and parted ways.“Come on, John. You know how it goes in this world. I've been working so hard for the paper,” He replied.I chuckled. “Hell yeah! You look like you've been making quite an awesome amount of money. I mean, look at your ride, man.”Raymond smirked. “You mean that. That's cheap. Compared to all you have here.”“Don't be fooled,” I chuckled.Raymond leaned in towards me.“Who's the lucky lady?” He whispered.I paused for a while.“That reminds me. How about Stella? Did you both end up married,” I scoffed.Raymond smiled. “Of course we didn't. She's happily married to another man now.”“What happened,” I piqued.“We…It just couldn't work out. You know… The both of us,” Raymond sighed.“But, what about you? What about Rebecca?” He enq

Sarah's POVThe pain was becoming unbearable.It just kept replaying. The scene of how he just walked out that door without looking back.But there was no way I could blame him. My mother didn't give him a choice.“You should definitely blame him for being a coward,” Lily said.I lifted my heavy face and locked my eyes on her.“Don't give me that look. You can't sit here and be crying for a man that never fought to keep you,” She added.“You can't say that. You weren't even there to see that mum didn't give him a choice,” I replied.Lily hasn't been of help to me since I told her what happened yesterday.I mean, I expected her to sympathise and give me some emotional support.But she has just been trying to make John seem too bad before me.“I know I wasn't there when all this happened, but I expected him to walk through that door today. Did he?” She had so much confidence behind her tone.“You have no idea what that man is passing through,” I sniffled.“Stop crying. I need to get som

John's POVRight there, the decision was left for me to make.My gaze locked onto Sarah's weary eyes as she looked at me in anticipation.She was patiently waiting to hear what I had to say.“You know you don't have to listen to her,” Sarah said.Juliette didn't utter a single word.“I will take my leave now. You can have her. I guess this is the price I will have to pay,” I said bluntly.I alighted from the sofa and made an attempt to take my leave.But Sarah grabbed my arm. I turned, only for my eyes to meet her crying.“You can't do this to me,” She pleaded as tears came rolling down from her eyes.I looked at her mother, who remained on the sofa.But she didn't say anything. I didn't want to come in between a family.If her mother was going to see this act of mine, as proof of my love for her daughter, then I don't have a choice.I looked at Sarah as words eluded my lips.I just loosened her grip on me and left immediately without turning back.I entered the car, and the driver dr

John's POVI have been feeling so disturbed about the fact that Sarah's mother hasn't accepted me.So, I decided to take a leap of faith.I took the phone from her and picked up the call.“Hello ma,” I said.The phone line became calm for a while as I waited for a response from her.“You're a wicked man. I need my daughter back. What don't you understand?” She barked.“But we love each other. All we need is for you to accept our union,” I replied calmly.“I don't want to see her around you. Can't you understand?”Sarah made an attempt to express her rage to her mother, but I signalled her to remain calm.I heaved a sigh of frustration. “Let's meet up, and then we can talk about this again. You will pick the location.”Her mother hesitated. “My house. I'll be waiting to take my daughter back.”The line went dead immediately.It was certain now. The hatred her mother had for me was unimaginable.I thought it was something that would eventually subside, but this isn't the case.“Why do y

Sarah's POVThere he was, standing confused and yet called among it all.“Please, leave him alone. My mother has gotten the whole story wrong,” I urged the policeman.“I don't think so,” he replied.Suddenly, my mother came running in through the door. “Get that man arrested!”“No, don't do that. He hasn't even hurt me. We were just having a good time.” I struggled with the cops as they placed a handcuff on John's hands.But they pulled me away from him as I struggled to hold on to him.My mother just went ahead to hit John repeatedly with her handbag as he was taken out of the building.Shockingly, John displayed no form of resistance.He was just so calm as the cops took him away.My tears just poured like water from my eyes as I wailed in pain while watching the drag my lover away.This wasn't something which I planned to sit back and watch.“Get a hold of yourself, woman. Let's go,” Mum declared.I glared at her angrily. I wanted to show her how angry I was, but she was my mother.

John's POVMy excitement had turned to sadness in the blink of an eye.All my attention just turned from my beautiful wife , Sarah, to the television before me.Everybody had their eyes fixed on the screen to see what Sarah's mother was about to say.Rosaline, on the other hand, was still confused as to what we were looking at.But she just remained calm to read the room.“John Stones kidnapped my daughter. I need him to be arrested immediately. I can't sit back and…” Sarah's mother broke down in tears before the camera.Sarah quickly reached for the remote and turned the television off.“I can't let you continue watching that.”“Babe, your mum has taken this too far. I didn't expect this,” I said shockingly.Sarah was in shock as well.I could tell from her eyes that she was just getting so much pain from what her mother was doing out there.Sarah couldn't get a hold of herself anymore.She quickly rushed into the room and shut the door behind her.Rosaline tried to go after her, but

John's POVI was already feeling nervous.I knew deep down that Sarah was never going to allow me to do what I was planning to do, but her mother was desperate.“Speak up, young man,” Sarah's mother said.“I am sorry, ma. Like I said. I will tell you everything you need to know,” I assured her.Right now, she had all her attention on me, and she was ready to hear all I had to say.“I signed a contract with Sarah. I was the person who paid for your medical bills. It came with a price,” I started.“A contract? What was this contract about?” She asked.“A contract marriage. For one year,” I replied.Meanwhile, Sarah felt like dropping into the ground immediately.“So, this is why Sarah couldn't come back? She was certainly paying off this debt that she owed you.”I nodded in positive affirmation.“Sarah, you shouldn't have gone through this stress because of me,” she said.“I think I'll take my leave now,” I stood up from the chair.Sarah's weary eyes were locked onto me as we both gazed

Sarah's POVI couldn't seem to place why John had to interrupt the introduction. I sensed fear coming from him. Condition it be that he was scared of my mother having to frown at our relationship?My mother, on the other hand, looked quite suspicious. Her gaze on John was unwavering. “Mum, what's the problem?” I broke the silence in the room. Mum's face hardened. “I have seen him somewhere. But you're welcome anyway,” Mum said. I bet John was uncomfortable at this moment. He slowly sat on the sofa, with his instincts flared. “John, right?” Mum still pressed on with her suspicion. “Yes…Yes ma,” John replied. Mum's countenance brightened immediately, as if she recalled something in an instant. “That's right. You're the man. John Stones,” Mum said. Everybody was in bewilderment of what was going on. I couldn't tell what she was trying to do. “He's the man they said… He kidnapped you. Yes, he is the man,” Mum said furiously. She ragefully stood up from her chair and tried to

John's POVWatching a girl in distress because of me wasn't supposed to make me flinch. But seeing Sarah cry because of her made me pissed. That went extremely down to my nerves. “Can you stop?” I roared. Charles was enjoying the moment anyway. He couldn't help but just laugh and make fun of the moment. “I can't, man. You have to accept my offer. You don't have a choice anyway,” he boasted. He was really full of himself at this moment. The shooter was about to take another shot at the girl. “Stop!” I yelled. “What…What do you want?” “It's simple…” The next thing that followed was a collision. The door blew up, and the room was filled with smoke. I took charge of the opportunity immediately, as I rushed to where Sarah was tied. I took off the restraints they had on her hands and feet as well. “Untie her,” she urged. There was no time for unnecessary questions, so I quickly took off her restraints as well. “Freeze!! FBI!!” Those were the words I hcard as armed men wal
